"What's going on?"
Dylan was a little stunned. Wasn't it just a cigar that Andrea gave him? Why did Nathaniel have such a big reaction?
Did he pass out from anger?
It couldn't be!
"Hey, Nathaniel!"
Dylan rose to help Nathaniel off the floor, but then a wave of dizziness overcame him before he could kneel.
"Holy sh*t!"
At that moment, only then did he know that he'd been tricked.
Was he being used by Andrea?
Sadness flooded Dylan's chest when he realized that.
There was nothing more infuriating than being used by the one someone loved, and this had even affected his best friend.
But now it was too late to say anything.
Dylan's vision went dark and he passed out cold.
After that, Andrea walked up from behind and smiled when she saw the scene. Then, she kicked Dylan to test his reaction and called for the men behind her.
Two men immediately came and dragged Nathaniel away under her orders.
As for Dylan, Andrea was at least kind enough to have someone take him to a nearby hotel to rest.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel had no idea how long he'd been out. When he opened his eyes, he was stark naked as Andrea lay next to him.
"Are you awake?"
Andrea acted shy and timid as she spoke.
Rage sparked in Nathaniel's chest instantly.
"You're f*cking terrible!"
His hands closed tightly around Andrea's neck.
Truth be told, he knew about this woman's nefarious intentions from the start, but he tolerated her because of Dylan. He didn't expect her to succeed in tricking him in the end.
Nathaniel felt absolutely disgusted at the mere thought of lying next to her.
However, Andrea did not expect Nathaniel to attack her as soon as he woke up and she screamed out of fear.
"Nathaniel, you've already taken my virginity, and yet you still want to kill me to keep me quiet?"
As soon as she finished her sentence, a rush of people broke into the room and frantically took pictures of them.
Nathaniel knew what was going on by now. Otherwise, his brain might as well go out the window.
No matter how much he tried to explain, it would never work by now.
Everyone could tell what had happened when a man and a woman shared a bed naked.
He never expected to be so easily subdued!
Furthermore, he had fallen into Andrea's trap!
Even killing Andrea now wouldn't relieve his hatred for her.
Eventually, Nathaniel stopped struggling and let go of Andrea casually as he looked around at the roomful of reporters. "Are you that interested in my affairs? Are my womanizing ways so interesting that you need to rush all the way here? To put it plainly, don't I have the right to sleep around in Ocean City? Moreover, I don't need to go looking for women because there are always shameless whores looking to sleep with me. Honestly, what do you even have to report?"
All the reporters were stunned for a while.
What else could they say when Nathaniel had put it so bluntly for them?
He was telling the truth.
Nathaniel was an influential figure from a powerful family in Ocean City, so would people say anything even if he exposed his philandering ways? Furthermore, he was right as there would always be women who would do anything to have sex with him. Hence, this was a non- issue for Nathaniel and the Ye Family.
Meanwhile, Andrea was a little panicked at the reporters' confusion.
Then, she quickly lowered her head and began to cry.
"Nathan, how could you say that about me? You said you'd take care of me."
Nathaniel glared coldly at the pity show Andrew put up and sneered. "Would you believe anything a horny man says? And Miss Yu, aren't you the one who orchestrated this? How about we check the hotel's security footage and see who brought me here?"
As soon as Nathaniel said this, the reporters went wild.
"What's going on, Miss Yu? Did you voluntarily engage in sexual relations with Mr. Ye?"
Then, the reporters set their sights on Andrea.
Clearly, Nathaniel was a powerful man.
They couldn't afford to offend him.
However, Andrea was a different story. A woman who shamelessly tried to climb into Nathaniel's bed was an excellent topic to write about.
As soon as Andrea realized that Nathaniel had turned the tables on her, she started to panic.
"Nathan, you can't do this to me. It was you who sought me out when you were upset with Mrs. Ye cheating on you. Plus, you told me that you would treat me well. I gave my virginity to you so how could you do this to me?"
